Thaw out frozen round potatoes.

Empty the can of cream of chicken into a bowl. Then fill the can halfway with heavy whipping cream. Dump into the bowl with cream of chicken soup and stir until completely mixed. Lightly spray 9 x 13 casserole dish. Put a small layer of chicken soup mixture in bottom of casserole dish. Layer 1/2 of the potato rounds. Layer 1/2 of remaining soup mix, onion, chopped bacon and half of the cheddar cheese. The first layer will look like this. Repeat all layers except cheese.Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.Cook in 350 degree oven for one hour or until cheese is lightly browned. Enjoy.
